Woah, wait a second..

This video shows you how to add animations to the RecyclerView which are seen in action while adding and removing items from the RecyclerView. In the first step, override the getItemId to return a unique id for each position in the RecyclerView or return RecyclerView.NO_ID. In the next step, call the setHasStableIds on your RecyclerView.Adapter subclass and supply true to this method and the animations run automatically after this.
